^Folks, don't forget, you won't have to stare into your spellbook once you hit 35.

This is the one classic feature that I truly dreaded, far more than any other.

The problem with this is it isn't something that will just go away. If memory serves the spellbook to level 35 thing was in EQ until just before the release of Luclin. If this is implemented, it will be the case for then entire life of the server. Every mana based character, forever will have to do this.

I get that it's classic, but it's boring, and shitty, and an irritating roadblock to the enjoyment of the game. It's also purposeless, there is no benefit, no added enjoyment, and no good reason why it was ever included in the first place.

You might think it's cool, for the novelty, but two and a half years from now when you are still staring at your spellbook on your new cleric alt, a class which does nothing but med, at all times, you are going to be pretty damn tired of it.

If the devs decide to put this in, there is nothing we can do about it, but for the love of god dont encourage this. I go camping to get the feeling of roughing it back in the old days, but I don't give myself dysentery just for added realism.

This. As a caster who had to go through that once... with Hell levels...FFFF that.

I would rather not play than have to go through that again. The amount of deaths you get from not being able to see roamers in EC alone would make you want to rage quit.

So you have learned you don't like real EQ which was the goal of the project. The titanium client was in this state for such a long time, that's too bad.

It's probably better you don't play Green. I was initially against the idea having spent so many years on blue. With posts like Kraznors it's shaping up to be the best place on the internet to find real eq, the original game turns the can't be bothereds like garlic to a vampire.

I would rather not have to deal, compromise or hear their weakness.

I don't ever knock how people want to play, but with all due respect, this guy is right! The book meditation thing, as much as I hate it, was part of the classic experience. It makes the game more difficult. It's just how it is. This game is unforgiving! And we love the game for that very reason!

If it's so important, then WHY hasn't it been on P99 since launch? And why do you have to be so douchey to someone who expresses their opinion?

There gets a point where you are just making things shitty.

I don't want to have to stare at a book just to regen mana. I already have to sit down forever to regen, why are you making me not want to play at all? I was so pumped and every new thing that gets added just makes me not want to play.

Every fanboy that's going OMG YES to this change is going to fucking hate it after the first day.
